Prices for drone roof surveys in Crow
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Drone roof survey in Crow
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it can’t see inside. We check the loft from inside where it is safe, because the underside tells its own story. Inside and out together tell you far more. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. Where the loft cannot be reached safely, we note it. If you’re worried about debris building up in hidden gutters and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Crow, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Drone roof surveys in Crow: local notes
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ringwood Junior School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crow. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself.
Crow is in Hampshire. We carry out drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crow and the surrounding area. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Southampton is in our area too.
We survey roofs across BH24 for drone roof surveys. If you need a drone roof survey at a property on Barrack Lane, Wood End Road and Crow Lane or anywhere close by, we can survey it. Nearby, we also carry out drone roof surveys in Upper Kingston (1 mile west), Hightown (1 mile north), Bagnum (1 mile south), Ringwood (1 mile north-west) and Poulner (1 mile north). Further out, we also cover Totton (13 miles north-east), Lymington (11 miles south-east), New Milton (7 miles south-east), Barton on Sea (8 miles south-east), Dibden Purlieu (15 miles east) and Marchwood (14 miles east).
Local landmarks in Crow
Typical jobs here are in homes near Ringwood School and The Elm Tree Inn, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include St Leonard's Hospital (4.3 miles west). The countryside around Crow includes Blashford Lakes and Linbrook Lake.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we can’t see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Fragile roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Large and complex roofs
- Tall and steep roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Crow, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Useful tips for Crow property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. It is a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Take photos of any changes.
Crow questions
Is drone flying allowed in Crow?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Do you cover smaller places like Crow?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
